Cinco Chiles Taqueria — Restaurant in Natick

I went here for the first time after seeing it for the past 4 weeks while working in the area. Went and and had a look at the menu and saw quesabirria tacos and immediately ordered them (as they are one of my top 10 favorite foods). I also asked the employee working what he recommends (I asked if anything on the menu was bomb) and he said the torta sandwich so I gave it a go thinking nothing of it and trusting it would at least be decent. Once I got back to work and opened up the bag, the torta was looking me dead in the eyes. I had no idea it was going to be such a big sandwich. Once I looked at it, it was game over. I had to take on that challenge. I took one bite to see what I was working with and had an experience I can only recall having happen to me a few times in my life. My eyes lit up, I started talking out loud to my self, I couldn’t believe how insanely good it tasted. Everything on that sandwich made sense to me and it all worked together extremely well. The creamy guacamole, the crunchy and delicious pickled jalapeños, the extremely bomb pork. I didn’t even need to try the tacos (which I was extremely excited for) to know that this would not be the last time I ate here. After about 47.5 seconds, I finished that beast of a sandwich and moved onto the tacos. Let me just say this, these are some of the best birria tacos in Massachusetts. The consume is to die for and the tacos are crispy, cheesy, and packed with meat. These lasted a little bit longer than the sandwich but everything in that bag was gone in 5 mins. This food is unbelievable. Very fresh and extremely well prepared. That sandwich changed my life. I do hate one thing about this place though and that it’s an hour away from where I live. I will definitely be back when I am working in the area or anytime I find myself close!!! Seriously one of the best meals I have had in a long time if...

Ronny and Douglas are excellent employees.This was my first time trying out this place and it was delicious, but the service was even better than the food, which should say a lot because the food was excellent. I was informed that this is the first location and they’re planning on opening more, if this is true, center your standards around these two— they are incredible examples of hard workers. I’ve been in food for years and those type of workers are rare and hard to keep, so keep them as long as you can!! I will be telling all my friends to come try...

The staff and environment was great.

Couldn’t seem to get metal cutlery for dine-in which was odd, but the most off-putting part for me was the rancid oil used for the chips and veggies. The chips were warm and could have been delicious, but the oil was clearly rancid, as it tasted bad and smelled awful (like it expired months ago or had been left out or used continuously for weeks without a change)

Judging by the other reviews, it looks like others really enjoyed the food, so I hope that my experience was isolated and they normally have fresher oil...
